Each year thousands of people die or are injured due to hospital errors. It is ethical for a hospital to tell the patient or their family that an error was made, however they are not legally required to do so. In many cases there may be several people in the hospital who know about a mistake, but the error will remain unreported for fear of reprisal.

Hospital errors can be a result of sub-standard care caused by physicians, nurses, medical specialists, surgeons, technician or other hospital worker. It also applies to other health care providers such as dentists and nursing homes. Some examples of hospital errors include:

$1.4 Million settlement for a 50 year old womanwho underwent a facelift and was left with permanent facial damage. The surgeon had no experience with a “deep muscle” facelift, failed to recognize serious post-operative problems and did not refer her for timely follow up care. She required 17 subsequent surgeries, including skin grafting from the leg and chest, and corrective eye surgery to repair facial nerve damage.
